Chapter 25 Regret

"Sir, I saved your life yesterday." Before Xu Qingyan could speak, the woman looked at him with sadness when she heard Pei Jingchuan's words.

The woman's eyes seemed to say that she had saved his life, so how could he be so heartless as to say that he didn't know her well?

Xu Qingyan smiled, turned around to look at the woman, and asked, "Miss, what's your name?"

"My name is Fang Rou." The woman looked cautious, as if she was afraid that Xu Qingyan would eat her.

Fang Rou thought that doing so would arouse Pei Jingchuan's desire to protect her, but Pei Jingchuan didn't even look at her. His eyes were only on Xu Qingyan.

Xu Qingyan looked at Fang Rou and said, "I will arrange a house for you so that you can recover properly. Don't worry! I will also send someone to take care of you until you recover."

"Are you going to arrange for me to stay outside?" Fang Rou looked at Xu Qingyan in surprise after hearing what she said.

Xu Qingyan blinked her eyes, looked at Fang Rou innocently and said, "Miss Fang, are you dissatisfied with this arrangement? You were injured while saving my husband, so I should take care of you."

Xu Qingyan rolled her eyes and complained in her heart: [What, you still want to live in the Duke's Mansion? You all designed the roof of Zuijiang Tower to collapse, and you haven't been held accountable yet! If I can't find evidence to prove that it was you who did it, I would pay you, right? ]

After hearing Xu Qingyan's voice, Pei Jingchuan was shocked. Was it Fang Rou who collapsed the roof? This was not okay! He didn't want to regard such a murderer as his savior. If he was not careful, he would be asked to repay the favor.

Pei Jingchuan said secretly in his heart: Check! Must be checked thoroughly! He will have someone check it out quietly later!

In the end, Fang Rou had no choice but to be taken to the yard that Xu Qingyan had arranged for her outside, and even hinted that Pei Jingchuan wanted to come see her.

But at this moment, Pei Jingchuan pretended to be stupid and didn't understand, saying that everything was arranged by Xu Qingyan, which made Fang Rou very angry.

At this time, Pei Jingyuan on the other side naturally also received the news from Fang Rou and learned about the progress of the matter. When he knew that Xu Qingyan had ruined his business again, he couldn't help but hammer the table in the room and cracked it.

At this moment, Xu Qingyue walked in from the door, patted her chest, and said, "Husband, you scared me!"

When Pei Jingyuan saw Xu Qingyue's indifferent look and thought of the trouble Xu Qingyan had brought him, he became even angrier.

Pei Jingyuan could not help but snorted coldly: "It's your concubine's daughter who has repeatedly ruined my plans! If the marriage had not been exchanged at that time, she would not stand on Pei Jingchuan's side now and cause me so much trouble!"

When Xu Qingyue heard Pei Jingyuan's expression of regret for the marriage exchange, her face instantly darkened.

So, Xu Qingyue threw the flowers she had just picked onto the ground and said angrily, "You regret marrying me, don't you? Do you think Xu Qingyan is very capable now and regret not marrying her?"

"What are you talking about? That's not what I meant!" Pei Jingyuan was a little guilty about Xu Qingyue's words and turned his head away. To be honest, he did feel a little regretful.

He now found that Xu Qingyan was indeed capable. If he had married her, he would have only wronged himself and Xu Qingyue to have an affair in private. He could have gotten Xu Qingyan's help. In this way, Pei Jingchuan would not have lost control like he did now.

But since Xu Qingyan married Pei Jingchuan, things have not been going well. First, the person who arranged to poison Pei Jingchuan was eliminated by him, so that Pei Jingchuan's health did not continue to deteriorate, which made him very worried. Moreover, this also made Pei Jingchuan doubt himself a little and began to distrust himself, because he felt that the relationship between Pei Jingchuan and himself recently was obviously different from before.

"Pei Jingyuan, this is what you mean! You regret it. You regret marrying me instead of that concubine's daughter. You are a bastard!" When Xu Qingyue saw Pei Jingyuan's evasive look, she became more certain of her guess.

This thought made her very angry. She was a legitimate daughter who had been raised in pampered condition, but now she had lost to a country girl whom even she looked down upon. How could she not collapse?

Then, Xu Qingyue couldn't bear it any longer, so she rushed to Pei Jingyuan and beat him hard with her hands.

When Pei Jingyuan saw Xu Qingyue acting like a shrew, he became even more annoyed. He couldn't help but reach out and push Xu Qingyue hard, and shouted, "Xu Qingyue, are you crazy?"

"Ugh..." Xu Qingyue was pushed to the ground and began to vomit.

Xu Qingyue looked very uncomfortable. Pei Jingyuan's face suddenly changed. Only then did he remember that Xu Qingyue was pregnant.

Pei Jingyuan immediately went over, helped Xu Qingyue up, and asked worriedly: "Qingyue, how do you feel now? Are you okay? Someone, go get the palace doctor!"

After a while, the court doctor came over to check Xu Yunqingyue's pulse. He said to Pei Jingyuan with a serious face: "Second Master, the Second Young Master's wife is pregnant. You have to be careful in this month, otherwise it is easy to miscarry. This time we are lucky and nothing happened. I will prescribe some medicine to keep the pregnancy going. You have to be careful in the future."

"I understand." Pei Jingyuan nodded with some fear after hearing what the court doctor said.

He was angry just now and lost his composure for a moment. Now thinking about it, he realized the importance of this matter. After all, Xu Qingyue was pregnant with his child.

Liu Rumeng also learned the news about Pei Jingyuan and others from the servants, and hurried over. She was relieved to hear that the child was fine.

However, she still scolded Pei Jingyuan and the others before she calmly said, "Now that you have been married for more than a month, tell the Duke and his wife the news!"

Liu Rumeng looked up at Pei Jingyuan and the others and continued, "It just so happens that Xu Qingyan arranged that woman outside this time. We can also take this opportunity to let the Duke and the others think that Xu Qingyan is jealous. She herself is not pregnant, but she is jealous and can't tolerate other women. The Duke's wife and the others will definitely be angry. It's just a good opportunity to stuff a few women into the prince's room."

"Mom, what you said makes sense. So shall we go meet father and the others now?" Pei Jingyuan nodded in agreement after hearing what Liu Rumeng said.

"Well! Qingyue, you stay and have a good rest! Jingyuan, you come with me!" So Liu Rumeng and Pei Jingyuan went to find the Duke and the Duchess.

Coincidentally, when they went there, Xu Qingyan and Pei Jingchuan were also sitting there. When Liu Rumeng saw them, her eyes flashed and she walked up to them with a gentle smile.

"My concubine greets the Duke and Madam." Liu Rumeng bowed respectfully to the Duke and Madam.

"My son greets his father and mother." Pei Jingyuan also called out from behind, and then stood obediently by the side.

When the Duke's wife saw Liu Rumeng, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then she smiled and said, "Madam Liu, why did you come out today?"

Liu Rumeng showed a faint smile on her face at this time, and replied: "Madam, I came here today because of a big happy event. I am so happy that I wanted to come and share it with the Duke and Madam."

"Oh, do you have any good news?" The Duke's wife asked with some confusion when she heard Liu Rumeng's words.

After all, in her impression, Liu Rumeng has always been a recluse, and she doesn't know what could make her so happy.

"Madam, Qingyue is pregnant." Liu Rumeng replied with a smile.

When the Duke's wife heard Liu Rumeng's words, her face froze. They had already known about this matter for a long time, but what did she mean by suddenly saying it out loud at this time?

Just when she was puzzled, Xu Qingyan's inner voice sounded again: [It seems that she came with bad intentions this time, and it is obvious that she is coming for me! Now that Xu Qingyue is pregnant, they must want to say that I can't give birth to a child, so that they can take a concubine for the young master to insert their spies! ]
